Bushing|Glossary

This section is part of the Coaxial Connector Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.

What Is a Bushing?

A bushing is a cylindrical component used to support, guide, or insulate parts within a connector or mechanical assembly.

It is typically installed inside a connector to maintain proper alignment and spacing between components.

Bushings can also provide electrical insulation or reduce mechanical wear.

They are widely used in both electrical and mechanical applications.

Bushings in RF and Coaxial Systems

In RF and coaxial connectors, bushings are used to stabilize internal structures and maintain alignment of conductive parts.

They contribute to consistent electrical performance by keeping proper spacing between conductors.

Bushings may also help reduce mechanical stress and improve durability.

Material selection is important, especially for high-frequency or high-reliability applications.
